Gravitas Blow by Blow

As an ASIA record, Gravitas shows a whole spectrum of musical, lyrical and sonic material, a mix of prog, rock, pop, folk, classical, melodic, alternative—all as it should be, accessible songs about real-life relationships and situations. The album’s original title was ‘Valkyrie’, and indeed that is the opening track of the collection. This song was the first to emerge from our (myself and Geoff Downes) many writing sessions that take place before the formal recording takes place.
